@ Ranger Streaming even 360p buffers on 4mb uncapped synced @ 6mb. Was fine all weekend. I cant only think its the change you guys implemented today :(

According to subxero's post, it was before my change ...

Is it still bust now?
 
Well the change didn't improve my latency in LOL one bit,still won't go below 600ms.Has it improved for anyone else?
 
Yes... can confirm that all is fine again.

Edit: More or less in that speeds are fluctuating from low to high. My connections bar graph looks like an ECG printout

I think your change has broken it for everyone. I am getting pings of 400ms to telkom.co.za here in joburg.

My experience today was below average. A friend from out of town came to visit today and asked for a a couple of torrent related downloads. Downloads were hovering between 80 and 200kbps. During this time browsing were terrible.

Facebook group pages would take about 30 seconds to load completely and other pages not must faster.

A but earlier had a look at a couple of Youtube repair videos and had no problems with the streaming quality.

I eventualy gave up on the torrents as it took 2:30 minutes to download about 87% of a 310MB file. I changed to my backup Afrihost account and immediately hit 420kB/s.

I'm in Kirkwood in the Eastern Cape on a 4Mbps line and would describe my current experience as far below par ito what I used to experience on TI.

Yes I know it does look fine and I also use a program called LOLTool to show my latency without going ingame and it shows 206ms,yet ingame I get 600-1500ms.Weird..
 
Dead in the water here (Durban). Been up and down all day today, but as of 7pm or so, everything has just fallen to s#!t. I honestly wish Telkom could just unf#cK whatever they keep messing with. Called the call centre, and was on hold for almost an hour before I gave up and hung up.
 
Browsing is pathetic tonight. No abnormally high pings what so ever, only slow web browsing. Didn't even try downloads yet.

That is telling.

I have done a few more tweaks to prevent gaming impacting icmp and dns too much. There may be some impact to P2P, which I will try and reduce.

I think we will have to test LOL at the office tomorrow and do packet captures, debugging etc. to see what is happening with the latency shown in this game, whether it is accurate, if so why it is so high etc.
